Jurich

Just hire Brian white and bring in Lane. Jurich obviously has a lot of red flags that people aren’t comfortable with. They can’t bring back Manny.

Again, running up against my ignorance regarding how the college athletics search game works. Does the search firm purely "vet" candidates they're given or do they go out and find candidates and present them to Uni for consideration? The former seems very low value add and as such I doubt they'd get paid a big contingency fee.

And what, precisely, does "vet" mean? Most recruiting firms I've worked with, that just describes them reviewing your resume, maybe a transcript if it's a younger candidate, and going through some interviews to make sure you'll be a baseline competitive in the actual interviews. At this level I'm sure it's more intensive, and maybe does involve some kind of official or BG check situation.

It seems to me that the more important question to ask is, assuming this is leaked from an actual inside source, why was this leaked at all? Is the news true, and it's being leaked by a pro-Jurich group to put pressure on the search firm? Is it true, and it's being leaked by the anti-Jurich contingent, to cast doubt on both the process and the candidate? Is it not really true, but is being leaked by one of those constituencies for those or perhaps other reasons? None of the above?

Excuse my ignorance as well. It seems you're overvaluing the "finding" role of a search firm in college football. Finding a competent AD is not in any way similar to digging for gold or locating untapped oil reserves. It's pretty straightforward. In our situation, it's look at the limited number of successful sports programs over the past few years and see if we can pull the AD or one of the high-up assistants.

I'd assume there are many obvious targets. I'd also assume that many of the obvious targets are usually hired. And I'd assume that many of the obvious, as well as the non-obvious targets, reach out directly to the University (or the search firm if that's their job) to express interest. Would the search firm really get paid a finder's fee for identifying Dan Radakovich as a good hire? In the same vein, would a search firm get a finder's fee for identifying Mario Cristobal as a good hire?

I doubt it. I'd imagine the search firm conducts a more meaty investigation than the one you're describing. I'd imagine the firm contacts coworkers and acquaintances from the candidate's place of employment. But maybe I'm completely wrong here, as that kind of investigation would blow any AD's cover. If they don't, I'd imagine the firm has a more limited role (and is compensated as such). Perhaps they provide logistical support by doing the cursory background research, setting interviews, following up on interested inquiries, etc.

Why is it being leaked? No idea. Based on 247's last report, it seems like Jurich is not a candidate. So maybe he's trying to put pressure on the University to consider his candidacy by signaling to the public that he's currently on the outside looking in.
 
SMART PEOPLE SEE WHAT'S GOING ON! HE DOESN'T DESERVE AN INTERVIEW! LOL @ HIS SLURPERS TOO. . .SMH

Sounds like to me someone whose a little disgruntled on the board leaked to the firm that no matter what Miami is gonna offer the job or Jurich or someone who isn’t in their “pool” of candidates which equals no kickback for them when their canidate is selected

A quality search company has been retained to do a job by a business, in this case the University of Miami. They have been contracted to do a job, let them do it! Any good firm would react the same way, if people are going around them to interfere in a search they were retained to perform. It's astonishing that people don't understand how a business is supposed to function, properly.

You understand search firms are only loyal to their future business, right? They will only favor those that will give them future business.
